I'm unable to sync my iphone 4 to my macbook.

I downloaded iTunes 10.4.1 . Now when I connect my iPhone iTunes gets to "backing up" then the iPhone disappears from iTunes. The phone says "sync in progress" for 30 minutes without actually updating or going to the next stage. I have tried restarting my computer as well as my phone with no luck.

  • I'm unable to sync my iPhone to my new MacBook Pro.

    I bought a MacBook Pro two days ago, and I'm trying to sync my iPhone 4s. It goes through all 6 steps on iTunes, but then a notification pops up and says the required disk cannot be supported. I'm not very 'savvy' with Macs, so I have no clue what this means or what to do. Thanks for any help.

  • After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!

    After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!
    iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.

    How crap is that?
    It's not crap at all.
    It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
    There has to be a solution.
    Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
    and maintain a current backup of your computer.

    You have posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question does not appear to be related to. You will probably get better help by posting in the Using iPhone forum.

  • Unable to sync my iphone with itunes over wi-fi

    This might be me be being extremely dumb, but I am unable to sync my iphone with itunes over wi-fi. I have itunes 10.5 on windows, have iOS 5. When I plug my phone into my computer I have ticked the box on the device summary screen enabling wi-fi sync but when I go into my iPhone menu, the "sync now" box is greyed out and it just says that it will resume sync when my computer is available.
    Any suggestions>??

    Sign me up for a "me too"
    updated 1 iPad,1 iPod and 2 iPhone4s and sync works on all but my iPhone4
    Each iP* device has it's own Windows 7 system to sync with
    When I unplug the iPad, iPod or other iPhone, the device stays in the devices list in iTunes
    When I unplug my iPhone, it disappears from the devices list (which makes me think it's iTunes being petulant)
    Have tried rebooting bot windows and the iPhone, disabling the firewall and 'repairing' iTunes
    It's a 64 bit windows 7, FWIW, but the other iPhone 4 talks nice to a 64 bit windows 7

  • Unable to sync my iPhone with iTunes all of a sudden...

    I'm presently unable to sync my iPhone with iTunes for some odd reason. It says "Syncing is disabled on this computer." I checked the iTunes settings and it said under "Syncing" in the preferences that it was in fact enabled so I don't see why all of a sudden I'm having these problems. Any suggestions?

    I first reset the sync services in the (Applicantions - Utilities) Terminal: killall SyncServer syncuid SystemUIServer
    Then I went to *User/Library/Application Support and dragged the SyncServices folder to the Trash.
    Then I logged out from the Apple Menu.
    Then I logged back in.
    Now all of the syncing services are working correctly.

    If you are indeed using 10.5.8 as indicated in your signature you will first need to upgrade to Snow Leopard; this is available in the Online Apple Store. You will then be able to uprade to Lion - again available in the Online Store where you will get a code to enable download from the App Store in Applications. This will enable you to use iCloud and run the latest iTunes.

  • I am unable to sync my iPad with my new MacBook Air without losing all photos even though both are linked to the same iTunes account

    Transferring photos from your computer has nothing to do with your iTunes account/Apple ID.
    Photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring photos from another, all photos on the iPad that were transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPad first - even if the photos were transferred from the old or different computer to the new computer being used for syncing.
    When transferring photos from your computer, what is named the iPod Photo Cache is created on your computer for the photos that are transferred and why you see new photos being transferres are optimized before the actual transfer process. The iPod Photo Cache for these photos on the computer the photos were transferred from is not available on your new computer.
    Since all photos on your iPad that were transferred from the old or different computer should remain on that computer, transfer the photos from that computer to your new computer. These photos on your iPad will be erased with the first sync but will be re-transferred along with a new iPod Photo Cache for these photos being created on your new computer.

  • Syncing my iphone to my new macbook

    I just purchased a new MacBook Pro, moving from a PC. My iphone is synced to my PC, how do I sync my iphone to my new macbook without my iphone contacts and calendar being erased? Please help!

    Make sure that you have at least one contact and calendar entry in your computer, then when you sync for the first time you will have the option to merge.

  • Sync from iPhone to iCal on MacBook has failed since the latest iPhone upgrade, yesterday.  It's worked in reverse, and all other sync operations appear to have worked.  Any solutions, that I may not have already tried (over and over)

    (Sorry, first time user of these forums, and it's confusing in it's own right)

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.
